I wanted to like this movie more than I actually did. I found the characters were just kind of unlikeable generally. All very self absorbed. Especially the two daughter characters. The younger of whom looks down on the male love interest by calling him that "garbage man". There seemed zero actual support for Hildy's alcohol problem from her family, the daughters just seemed to see her as an ATM.
I think maybe the dogs were the most likeable characters, though the Kevin kleine character came a close second. It didn't actually seem like the main charcter Hilday really even liked the town very much, or anyone in it. She showed very little emotional range and just seemed kind of numb to everything, maybe that is what being an alcoholic does to you.
The movie is worth a watch if you are a fan of Sigorney Weaver. I hope she gets some better roles in future though.
